CROFTSWAY labradors - Established in 1975.
We are dedicated to breeding quality labradors that excell in Temperament, Type and Soundness.
We have had numerous imports from some of the worlds' leading kennels, and these have given us a strong base from which to work.
All our breeding stock is x-rayed and Scored for Hips and Elbows, and all hold current Eye Certificates.
Croftsway labradors have proven themselves as useful shooting companions, treasured family pets, and many have qualified as Guide Dogs for the NZ Guide Dog Foundation & other Guide Dog schools in Australia, Japan and the USA. We are also proud to support MOBILITY & SERVICE DOG organisations in both Australia and New Zealand. We have had numerous puppies go to these organisations with excellent results.There are Croftsway Champions throughout New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Japan, Russia, the Philippines and the USA.
We currently have quality Stud dogs in black, chocolate and yellow - all imported lines. Our stud dogs have Champion progeny throughout NZ, Australia, Asia, Europe, USA and the UK.
We are also importing semen from around the world to add to our gene pool.
All of our Stud dogs are DNA Optigen tested for PRA and all are NORMAL / CLEAR. They are also DNA tested for EIC and HNPK.
Our puppies are well reared, and well socialised, and occassionally available to approved homes.
